"Boon" is a novel written by H.G. Wells, first published in 1915. In this satirical work, Wells explores themes of social criticism, human nature, and the pursuit of knowledge. The story follows the protagonist, Mr. Polly, a disillusioned and discontented man who decides to escape his mundane life by faking his own death and starting afresh. Along his journey, Mr. Polly encounters various characters and situations that challenge his perceptions and beliefs, leading to moments of introspection and self-discovery. Through Mr. Polly's experiences, Wells examines the complexities of modern life, the constraints of societal expectations, and the quest for personal fulfillment. With its sharp wit and incisive commentary, "Boon" remains a compelling exploration of the human condition and the eternal search for meaning and happiness in an ever-changing world.
